Duck confit may be my favorite food, and this recipe did not disappoint. I made it for a large dinner party, and everyone cleaned their plate, including those who had never eaten duck before. However, this recipe leaves out a crucial step, which this the final frying before serving - warm the jar until the fat melts so you can remove the meat, pat it dry, then put it in a frying pan over moderately high heat until the meat is crispy and golden. I also made this recipe with turkey thighs, and it was a big hit - people who hated dark meat before couldn't get enough - I served it with Harry and David's cranberry relish.

This recipe is better than Cats!
